AI CODING ROI

Prove what your AI coding spend shipped

Faros connects agent sessions to the pull requests, tickets, and releases they produced, and measures them against the delivery metrics your organization already tracks.

The problem

Adoption numbers don’t measure AI coding impact

Seat counts, token volume, and acceptance rates all tell you that
AI coding is here, but they don’t tell you what outcomes were delivered.

Outcome guesswork

Connecting AI coding activity to shipped work and business impact is imprecise and anecdotal

Uneven returns

Two teams with the same tools and the same AI coding spend can ship vastly different outcomes

Budgeting by instinct

Allocation, tool choice, and model standards get decided without reliable ROI evidence

HOW FAROS HELPS

Measure outcomes, not tokens

Faros joins agent sessions to your engineering data, so AI coding outcomes are measured the way delivery has always been measured.

Connect spend to verified outcomes

Tie token spend to the outcomes you define:
merged pull requests, resolved tickets, shipped features.

Overview of AI spend against outcomes, including cost per outcome
Outcomes frontier plotting teams by total AI spend and outcomes

See where AI coding spend is most effective

Compare cohorts on spend and shipped outcomes in a single Pareto frontier view. Find where to investigate, invest, or optimize next.

Connect with the engineering metrics you rely on

Delivery, quality, review load, and developer experience in the same graph as token flow. Connect your agents and they can build any dashboard your team needs from it.
